INTRODUCTION

Design Thinking is a user-centric approach that helps individuals to understand and apply proven methodologies to lift their abilities to a new level in this digital era. Successful companies such as Apple, Airbnb and Alibaba adopt a systematic approach towards design thinking to integrate creative problem solving and technology adoption to seize business opportunities and move their business forward. Technology disruption and Digital Transformation has dramatically changed the way organizations evolve nowadays. Design Thinking will empower anyone to solve complex problems – in private life or in our companies.

Design Thinking has its genesis in product design. However, over the past decade, it has been popularized by Stanford University and IDEO to encompass design user experience and business solutions. It starts with a simple question which we often overlook; Who is the end user? How might we design a fruitful experience for this user.

The workshop is a dynamic mix of short instructional lectures, demonstrations, and guided hands-on teamwork involving group discussion, roleplay, creating a business plan to put to practice.
